POSTPONED Bay Area RNA Club Meeting | | |
|
|
Out of respect of our valued trainees and staff on the strike line, the Bay Area RNA Meeting will be postponed until the new year. We are hopeful that a fair negotiation will happen soon, and look forward to a meeting where everyone can participate fully.
For over two decades the BARC has facilitated our ability to come together as a community. We are really looking forward to connecting with you and learning more about your exciting RNA science.
Hoping everyone has a safe and relaxing holidays. Once the strike is resolved, we will send an announcement with a new date in 2023.
Liana, Andy, Michael, Joshua, and Stephen

The Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) Fellowship Application | | |
|
|
The Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS) is seeking applications for a new AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at the University of Michigan (the Schmidt AI in Science program). Funding for the program comes from the Eric & Wendy Schmidt Postdoctoral Fellowship, a program of Schmidt Futures. This program provides outstanding early-career researchers with intensive training & research experience as they ready themselves for independent research in academic & other sectors. We aim to enable the substantive us of AI for breakthroughs in science & engineering, & cultivate global science leaders. Specifically, we will:
1) Catalyze creative & transformative applications of AI with the potential to lead to major scientific breakthroughs carried out by the Fellows and their mentors.
2) Enable a broader U-M research community to adopt AI in imagining, planning, executing, & supporting research applications across a range of science & engineering domains.
3) Provide outstanding traing to the Fellows.
4) Collaborate with other sites to maximize the impact of the program.
Submit Application: here.
